Gratitude Stones

I've been drawn to small smooth stones since I was a child. These Gratitude Stones are simple to make and a great way to encourage gratitude in children and adults. They also make wonderful inexpensive but meaningful gifts. You can find instructions for various activities using them on my site article.

Gather your stones. They don't need to be perfect just make sure there is at least one flat surface you can paint your hearts onto.





Using a paint brush or paint pen draw a heart on each one. I used gold and white but you can of course use any colors you like.





Outline your heart with white or whatever color you choose.





Add some type of gloss to make them shine!
